Emerson gave much more Of his time

in New England forty years ago, or is,
perhaps. now 'sThere is nothing (he
writes in his journaD that is not of the
greatest interest in the nursery. Every
tear and every smile deserves history, TO
say nothing of the stamping and scream

ish doings and sayings, in which these
sspretty oraclcsn are chronicled like the
anecdotes of Plutarch. Their play and
their work. their companions and their
lessons, their out of door rambles and
their home occupations, were objects Of
his constant care The home discipline
was never neglected, though it was en-
forced by the gentlest methods. The be-

formerly travelling for New York
narsery. Mr.. Walter informs us that
he IL kept busy selling the Eclectic
Herb Bitters, receiving a large box
weekly by express from the company
and yet the demand Is greater than
the supply, receiving orders by mail
frequently for the medicine. These
bitters reach the diseases In the
blood and in this way can only effect
a cure. Many medicines are adver-
tised for the cure OF diseases, hut II
csrtninly must be accepted as true
that the most reliable testimony must
come from people who are In posi-

are now persuaded that even fruit

MlTTKE.

For the benefit of those Of our rea-
dcrs who may want to visit the deer
country tn is fall aud are therefore in
need Of information regarding the
gro und, we would state that the en-
tire country from across TroIelville
west to the Board Shanty in Treas
ters Valley, with the exception of u
mile square patch around Booney's s
Hollow and II mile OF Treastrrs Vail
ley from the Buck,wheat Shanty
west, il entirely burned out. Parts
Of White oak Bottom and Longwells
Draft also escaped the fire. The
Board Shanty in Treasters Valley is
burned, aHd how much of the country
west of that we could not learn. Lit
tie Vally is swept clean. Notwith-
standing the ravages OF the fire, deer
seem more plenty than they have
bsen for many year, and are Just as
apt to be jumped on the burnt as on
the unburnt districts. There is, how
ever, an entire absence OF bear in the
burnt territory, and where they got
to is a puzzle-as not as much as q
trail could be found in last weeks
snow. The deer shot by onr party
were unusually fat as a rule in spite
OF the apparant lack OF food. The
old-timed run ways, however, are of
little account, as the animale run just
about where they please.
And now, since we have societies for
nearly everything, wouldn't it be a
good idea to inaugurate n scandal
adjusting committee" before whom
all reports of doubtful gossip be pre-
sented and by them considered before
it is given out for circulation. 1t
would certainly be an improvement
on the morals OF every community.
The requirements would be a "Grand
Mogur or chairman, who IL entirely
free from scandal, secretary who
could record the reports without
prejudice, and treasurer who could
keep them without telling her hus-
band. There Is, OF course, no use in
receiving men into the order, as they
are all Simon pure, aud never recog.
nize anything that smackers VI i'm.
purity when directed at their lady
acquantancss. They are all honor
able-as pure as ice and as chaste as
snow. How could anything uncleau
la alK
OF them and they'll tell you the same
